Towards an Efficient Radio Network Planning of LTE and Beyond in Densely Populated Urban Areas

Abstract

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a fourth generation technology which is expected to be the mobile broadband platform for services in innovation for the foreseeable future. Going on with LTE radio network planning is a well-chosen challenge and a certain hot topic in the current research arena. Again, efficient radio network planning for a densely populated city adds to certain level of complexity in the overall work in terms of proper resource management and capacity requirement fulfillment. In this paper, a detailed LTE radio network planning procedure has been elaborately presented which concentrates on nominal and detailed planning considering possible network implementation in the most populated Indian city Mumbai.
